I just finished my alt blurr (finished a lot of customs lately but just been too lazy to get pics) with the same head but different mold cuz I wanted all the post-movie bots to have different car molds ie I can have a Blurr and Hot Rod being fords.

Thanks for the comments guys. Theres always some controversy repainting the rare guys aint there? got the same comments when I did nemmy. But to be honest, in Australia, there is no such thing as a common alt!

icanfly, do you have any other heads lying around? i try to change mine as much as possible to give it a different look but the, again the head is perfect.

ohhh and what paint did you use?

I do have a couple of heads, mostly movie toys. The spare alt heads generally sit atop those guys at the moment.
The paint is a tamiya metallic light blue

he's awesome...question tho....did you paint him without taking him apart?

I partially took him apart. Undid all the screws but I dont trust myself enought to tackle the pins

Interesting. Cant believe you used such a rare and expensive toy to do this though. Still hopefully the end results will be worth it, not many people do blurr.

Like I said, they are all rare in Australia. From what I see, they are all becoming rather rare. I hadto do Blurr to go with my Ultra Magnus (thanks Vector, RIP buddy), Hotrod, Arcee WIP andthe to be started Kup and Springer. Makes a good set!

Looking good so far!!....the yellow hands set it off really nice too....you plan on leaving them yellow?..

I seen them this morning, looking good. I couldn't do another Corvette as my Springer was planned as one and already have two blue vettes

Thanks for the feedback everyone, might get into some of the touch ups today

JL, that's a great answer to the "rare" toy question for customizing an Alt. I don't think one can get any Alt in the US at their local Wal*mart anymore . . . [I don't know about the rest of you, but I see more of Alt Rodimus on ebay for a better price than Alt Mirage]

That all being said, looks like you gots yourself another sweet custom! Perhaps it's the yellow and red parts (that you may end up painting or may not), but I'm really getting an Armada vibe from him right now. Just don't tell Squall

I look at it this way. For every "rare" figure that gets Kitbashed. The value of other
peoples goes up. So really we are doing you a favor by making a "rare" figure even more "rare".
I've got Rodimus sitting here on my desk, not just waiting to be repaint but also modified.
